Missouri State Bears

The Miami Marlins had just one pick on the first day of the 2016 MLB Draft, and they spent it on left-hander Braxton Garrett out of Florence High School in Alabama with the seventh pick.

The Marlins went back to the high school ranks early on Day 2, picking outfielder Thomas Jones out of Laurens, S.C. in the third round as well as Redondo, Calif., outfielder Sean Reynolds in Round 4. After that, Miami took college players the rest of the way, nabbing two outfielders, a catcher and three pitchers.
